To start off with, I think that it's a great film, director Brian DePalma's well done work. However, as is usual when the tale of Al Capone and Eliot Ness is told, some facts are taken with the source meterial. Manufacturing a confrontation between Ness and Capone does indeed enhance the storyline in "The Untouchables", and for that, we must thank the director and the excellent work of the operator.

To start off, let's deal with Kevin Costner, as he is the head of his division. Costner plays Ness with his (by now) typical 'calm man' demeanor manages to make him much more human, more down to earth, more helpless than not. Ness is undecided at times, and needs guidance. He has a goal and a vision, but also knows that he needs help to bring it about, and here, he gets that help from an honest beat cop named Malone, essayed by Connery.

Conery alters his Scottish accent a lighttle to sound the Irish he plays, and his sense of timing is perfect.

Connery truly shines as the 'one good cop in a r

At this case Ness doesn't act as a cop, he is taking the revenge. Having an informetion from George that all jurors are bought by Capone. He asks the judge to change the juror's team, but the judge is not willing to do so. That gives a thought to Ness about the judge, perhaps that Capone bought the him also. He has no choice but to say that the judge's name is on the lease too. In the movie we don't know whether the judge was bought, but his williness to change the jurors innuendoes that he was. This classic rule discovers Alfred Hitchkoc " guessing is more interesting than to be guessed ".

At the beginning of the movie it is very interesting how Capone is introduced to us. Before the movie is started we hear a gunshot, in the darkness. Then the long shot (taken from a crane) with no sound. It makes us to feel like we are looking at the well. We read the text, which says about violence, and in the button of the well Capone lying at a chair with a towel closes his face. He is given an interview, and then we will see him again lying in bad with reading the article "CRUSADER CAP BUSTS OUT". And giggling at his contender.

One low angle shot shows us Nash holding the newspaper also shows the lantern on the left. Next shot when Nash going to Malone. We see deep focus. In sharp focus is Malone and behind him the way which brightly lighten, on his left we see the half of Nash figure. That shot shows that Malone has a lot of experience, he is not young as Nash, and as a metter of fact he has a great hair. The next shots on the bridge always shows us Malone is going off and Nash is trying to catch him. When Nash asking Malone his name and union we see the montage. Before Nash asked him, Malone was going off him, after the question he turned and started to walk towards. Dolly shot now shows the back of Malone and the face of Nash. We see that after Nash's back there is nothing, which emphasizes that he has no experience. This montage is given as a thought that they would come along eventually. We will see the assimilation of this scene with the scene when Nash's division would catch the convoy of spirit beverages, which Capone wants to buy. This scene is happening in the day (natural sunlight). Also we mention here the fact that the Canadian police are working together with Chicago. The light hints that Ness's deals are going much better. Father more the montage presenting here is made very professional. We see one car crossing the bridge from the left to the right (we first saw it on the bridge). Soon after that we see the reaction shot of Nash, sound bridge of the car's sound, then point of view shows us the car (which happened to be occurred through trees, makes us alert) which moves to the left.

The scene in which Malone is killed appears as a breaking point of Ness's right attitude to life. The scene is fool of cut-away shots. The Malone is dying, and Capone is listening to the opera. At the last time of his life Malone is able to give Ness the paper with the important informetion. We don't know what kind of informetion this is, but with attached key, Malone shows him and us that this paper is the clue to Capone's catch.

The most important scene of the movie is when Ness arrested Capone's bookkeeper. The entire action is happening on the trains station stairs. Here we see the parallel with the movie "Potemkin" where the important action happens to be on the stairs too. When Ness is looking down the stairs (long shot) he sees two people washing the floor. That give us a thought that here, at the station, the Mafia would be bitten. Also we see a woman with baby's wagon as we saw in the movie "Potemkin". The soundtrack of the baby crying is mentioning the fact that something serious is going to happen. The montage is here again when Ness goes upstairs with the wagon and Capone's people are going downstairs. At the time when Ness saw the Capone's man, with whom he has met before, the baby is crying again and we g
